When Irrational Games' Ken Levine told the crowd at Sony's E3 2011 press conference that a BioShock game was being created for the Vita, he didn't divulge much information. Levine recently clarified to IGN that the BioShock game being made for Sony's in-development handheld system is not a version of Infinite and not a remake of the original BioShock.

"It's a different project. It's its own thing being built from the ground up," said Levine. "That is going to be strange and surprising to people. I think we always want to surprise people. If I'm just saying 'here's BioShock 1 on Vita', that's something we could potentially do, but you don't need us to do that. Somebody can make that happen."

Levine wasn't willing to discuss specifics, but did say "It's a core game." We'll of course update when we hear more information.
